    Curried Chicken Small
    Jazmine S.

    Had a much better experience than I did previously as far as being able to order from this restaurant with plenty options available and not yet sold out. This time, I tried the curry chicken and a side of plantains. Was not a fan of the plantains at all, as they were too hard. But the actual plate itself was very flavorful and plentiful. I ordered a small and still had left overs for later. Service was pretty slow but the lady at the front counter was polite. I look forward to trying Ochos Rios again soon.

    Delicious food with an authentic taste of Jamaica We had jerk chicken with steamed rice and wet mac & cheese, brown stew chicken rice & peas, and steamed cabbage. It's just getting off with month one under their belt so if you are looking for a taste of the Island come and eat! We will be back

    My first visit to this restaurant. This recently opened restaurant boasts a modest Jamaican menu. To say the least, I was thoroughly blown away with my meal. I had the small Curry Chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. The small serving was adequately priced at $12.99; a large portion would set you back $15.59. One word: DELICIOUS! A novel way to order; scan the QR code on the table, order, pay and your food is brought to your table. No fancy digs, this is truly a mom and pop setup that includes a DJ and karaoke on weekends. Includes dine-in and take-out. I'm looking forward to returning to have the jerk chicken and hopefully bump up the rating to 5 stars. UPDATE: Returned for lunch and had the jerk chicken and the chicken in brown gravy. We and to patronize this restaurant so it stays around. 04/14/2023

    Brown Stew Chicken Small, rice, Steamed Cabbage
    Michele J.

    Went to Texas City Dike for the morning and boyfriend wanted TexMex on the way home. I found this little gem on Yelp and said "do you trust me?". He had the curry chicken and I had the brown stew chicken. Both were very, very yummy. Folks were very friendly. Everyone we saw was grabbing food to go, so hope they stay busy and keep serving this authentic, flavorful fare.

    Fish and fries

    The fish was not seasoned good and the French frys was not seasoned as advertised. This is all I have to say on that.

    The beef patties are to die for!!! The jerk chicken is very tender and absolutely melt in your mouth!!

They offer a variety of entrees that will keep you going back to try everything. I had the jerk chicken sandwich with the mac and cheese. The sandwich was delicious - I was expecting mostly meat, but there was corn and peppers that nicely complimented the chicken. The mac and cheese definitely had a little bit of a kick and also a bit of sweetness, so beware if you're sensitive to spice. Overall, all the flavors were delicious, The portions were definitely more than enough, and everything was reasonably priced. My order came out quickly, and they were very friendly! I have seen them delivering to various locations on UTMB campus, and they're also open to catering.

It's much more spacious inside. Lucian's staff seem kind and hospitable, but communication among staff to the customers was lacking. Their menu doesn't just contain Jerky chicken and shrimp, they also have meat patties, Jerk burgers, chicken sandwiches, curry, wings, coco bread, pasta, fried chicken, fish dishes, curried potatoes, fried plantains, rice and beans, and other chicken dishes. They only serve one kind of soup, Red Pepper. Lucian's also serves oxtail and goat, but I personally REFUSE to devour that kind of livestock! The menu has affordable prices. Lucian's are sports fanatics, noted by their collection of flags and their TVs only shows sports. Yes, they also offer champagne and spiked sodas for those of you who drink (NOT me). They have a small stage inside for live music performances! Our food was excellent, but they were out of a lot dishes that day, and it wasn't busy at all! The staff accidentally overcharged my friend's order, so she had to go the front desk to straighten things out. Lucian's Caribbean Grill needs to focus more on time, management, organization, and communication.

A large, soft, salty pretzel and creamy, decadent dip made this app a 10/10. Then we tried a couple of cups of gumbo which had the best roux I have ever tasted... Another 10!!! I could just order a pretzel and a bowl of gumbo and be completely satisfied with my meal here. For our mains we got the sticky chicken and fried catfish. Sticky chicken was a little sweet for my taste 7/10 and the catfish was perfect, another 10/10. The sides were good but the jalapeno blueberry coleslaw stole the show. If you're ever in the area this restaurant is a must try! They'll be moving to a new location soon and I hope it has the same cozy feel as this original location.

A small one crawling on the wall near our table and someone from my party saw a larger one crawling near the kitchen. And boy was it stuffy in there. I asked our waitress if she could move a floor fan near for some relief and to detour the gnats, she said she go ask but she never came back and when she did she completely forgot my request. We weren't seated in the greater eating area where it was cooler and maybe where the gnats were less of a bother. The food was delicious and homemade, you can tell it was made with high quality ingredients and that Southern skill that you can only get from helping Grandma in the kitchen. BUT the roaches made us lose our appetite. Such a shame. It seemed like the building went down. They don't seem to put as much effort into the condition of that place as they do the food. Dusty ceiling fans and crummy floors. I appreciate the homey vibe but it looked really junky, more stuff piled in unoccupied corners as before. I gave a lot of things the side eye, I mean it there has to be maintained asthetic. They charged an 18% gratuity on my tab for a party of 8 but I arrived with 4 people, the other 4 had already been there, paid and was almost done with their meal. Then of course the cashier/waitress still mentioned an additional, optional tip. I didn't think that was fair. At the end of it all she wasn't the best waitress.
